Career Advice

When you're looking to make a career change, your inclination may be to
focus on full-time positions that you get by going through the company
that is hiring. However, there's another route to a job that many job seekers tend to ignore: temp agencies.

There are several reasons to leave your job: it is no longer satisfying,
you have a deteriorating relationship with your manager and/or
co-workers, or your personal situation has changed. But workplace
fatigue isn’t always a sign to move on.

In a competitive
business climate, you need to be up-to-date with the latest in
business, and in your specific niche, to maintain your edge and compete
against other employees who have been keeping up with their education.
Consider several major types of continuing education that you can use to
bolster your career.

Honing in on specific areas and narrowly focusing on particular areas in
today's economy may not be the wisest choice for people who are looking
for all types of employment, not to mention, those who are trying to
open doors to long-term career paths.

Being organized in the workplace will mean more productivity. A few tips can help you streamline your tasks, complete your work more
efficiently, and tackle the responsibilities of your day at a steady and
orderly pace.

Workplace experts say one of the best ways to get ahead on the job is to "manage up." Managing up is basically going beyond the call of duty---taking on extra
responsibilities, thinking ahead and anticipating your boss’s needs.
But there is an art to it.

Employers look for job candidates that have good communication, interpersonal and technology skills. Age is not as big a factor as you might think. For those who feel stuck in life, it’s never too late to change careers and move on.
